"Go back by yourself." Seeing that Isaac hadn't followed, Horace turned to Isaac and said to him.
Without waiting for Isaac to answer, the two of them left holding hands.
Instead of going straight home, they took a walk on the grass. They had a lot to say.
"Clara, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have trusted Laura. I should've investigated."
Horace was very guilty of his mistake.
Although it was Laura and Isaac ‘s fault, as Clara's husband, he shouldn't have trusted them.
That was his mistake, which led to their five years of separation.
"It's not all your fault. I am responsible too."
Clara completely forgave Horace after hearing his words.
He was also a victim, and he was confessing so sincerely, Clara was very relieved.
"Oh? Why?" Horace was interested, wanting to hear what Clara would say.
"Back then, if I believed in you, I wouldn't have believed that you were in the room... Laura's subsequent schemes wouldn't have succeeded."
Looking back, it was indeed the sound of Laura that made her misunderstand.
If she didn't misunderstand, things won't end up like this.
"Well, women are sensitive, and you're not an exception." Horace rubbed her head with a chuckle, and took her hand, continued to walk.
"No, we have to deal with Laura or I won't feel well." Clara wouldn't let go of those who hurt her. Laura must be punished.
Laura was Horace's first love, no matter if he still had feelings for her. Clara had to say it in advance.
One's first love was the most memorable.
Horace understood. He smiled and looked at Clara, saying, "Even if you don't mention it, I will do it."
"For what? For she ruined your reputation?" Hearing that Horace didn't defend Laura, Clara teased.
"Alas, my dear wife jokes at me, and I can't refute." Horace wished he could throw Clara on the bed to punish her as before. But he couldn't right now. So, he played the victim.
In this way, he could make Clara happy, and also repair their relationship.
But unexpectedly, after Horace called Clara "wife", they both paused.
When was the last time she heard him call her this way?
The two looked at each other for a long time without speaking.
Quarrels between husband and wife never lasted for more than one night, but in their case, it had lasted for five years. They will never be separated again after reconciliation, right?
Both hoped so.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, they drove home hand in hand.
Being together again, Horace and Clara became very needy of each other.
They held hands even when Horace was driving.
"This time, I won't let you go again," Horace said when Clara asked him to focus on driving.
"Yeah, daddy is back." Horace stepped forward and picked up Neo, laughing happily with him.
Clara hadn't laughed like this for a long time.
Logan was so happy to see his sister and nephew being happy. He didn't plan to pursue the past.
He had misunderstood Horace, who didn't do anything wrong.
Thinking that he also punched Horace yesterday, Logan felt a little guilty, but he didn't regret it.
He didn't know the truth at the time. That was a punishment for Horace because he didn't investigate.
Logan felt that he needed to talk to Horace, so he said to Clara.
"Clara, take Neo in. I need to talk to Horace."
Clara understood, so she picked up Neo, who was still on Horace and walked indoors.
"Mom, what is uncle going to do?" Neo realized that something was wrong and asked.
Logan looked serious. Neo was afraid that he would do something bad to Horace.
"Uncle will chat with my father, your father came in a moment."
Clara smiled, thinking that Neo was so smart. She didn't think she was that smart when she was his age.
He must have got it from Horace. That was good. She didn't want Neo to be as stupid as herself.
Clara left. And Isaac left before being asked to. Only Horace and Logan were the only two in the living room.
